    Keeping your loot in a checking account is stupid.
    What? No one ever heard of Government Mint Gold and Silver certificates?
    Easy way to double/triple your funds with minimum risk.
    BHOP knows all about them.

    Hopkins knows F-all about investing. The only reason he has any money at all is because of all the nuisiance law suits he constantly files and the generosity of G.B.P giving him some made up title where he only has to show up now and then and cash his checks.

    LOL.

    BHOP has been a VP at GBP for awhile now.
    He's a family man, married to the same woman, never drinks/smokes/drugs/parties, isn't giving his money to a Christian church or them pulpit pimps, and owns real estate all around Philly.
    He brought a large house in foreclosure and Vice President Biden is his next door neighbour.

    Hopkins can buy a clown like you to cut his lawn and wash his cars.
    That would be after you get some training to make you qualified for the task. :yep

    This is really unfortunate and all to common with fighters and athletes in general. Best of luck to Trinidad, he is one of my favorite fighters.

    Cotto seems much smarter than Trinadad
    He'll probably have a nice post fighting career in promotions

    Far too many boxers lose all of their money. They need to put it in a savings account and not depend on a crook..................

    Hmmm kinda sad to hear. Thought he was doing well money wise. Tito is still married and living in Pr with the dollar value is triple. But bad investments can mess you up.

    A fool and his money are soon parted.

    Tito seems like a nice bloke, but with all the historical fighters that ended up broke, you'd figure these guys hold on to their money.

    Yeah because god forbid theyre allowed to spend money on what they want, the aim is to allow a good standard of living and to still maintain assets and income. To recommend dumping a large amount of cash in a bank account to let expose it to concentration and inflation risk is absurd. :thumbsup
